The day after my last trip to NJ<\/a>, I was able to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 under some blue skies.\u00a0 The only problem was that I was only able to catch them at the USS Nautilus.\u00a0 But that’s not really a bad thing…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What the bad thing was is that my car broke down, so I had to limp it back home to get my truck.\u00a0 So after transferring my gear to the truck, I headed into work.\u00a0 On the trip south, the scanner was doing its thing, and as I was coming into Franklin, I barely picked up the Jewett City detector – it sounded like it reported 8 axles heading south.\u00a0 Then the Worcester dispatcher acknowledged that NR-2 went through the detector without any defects.\u00a0 OK, so there was light engines heading south.\u00a0 I figured that it was still worth shooting, so I headed south.<\/p>\n

I managed to keep ahead of them, and eventually decided on catching them at the USS Nautilus overlook park in Groton.\u00a0 I pulled in and parked a couple minutes ahead of NR-2 – in fact, as I parked and started to walk around, NR-2 reported that they were south of MP5.\u00a0 So I went to the truck, grabbed my gear, and headed to the fence to pick an angle.<\/p>\n

I opted for a spot close to the Sub Force museum, something a little different than what I usually shoot.\u00a0 A moment later, the crossing activated, and NR-2 came into view.<\/p>\n[cpg_imagefixthumb:8281]\n

Then a couple shots of the pair of locomotives rolling past the Nautilus<\/p>\n[cpg_imagefixthumb:8280] [cpg_imagefixthumb:8279]\n

And that was it – I had to get into the office, so I didn’t wait for the train to cross the Thames.<\/p>\n

Thanks for looking!
